Kid Cudi is not here for your ridiculous gender norms

Over the weekend, Kid Cudi posted a photo on his Instagram donning the iconic bounty hunter Mandalorian helmet. The hubbub that ensued, though, was not related to the Star Wars-themed look, but the peace-sign he threw up in the photo, which revealed a set of painted nails. You probably know how the rest played out: online hate flooded in, and Cudi eventually turned off the comments on the post.

On Twitter the next day, he explained, “I got tired of blockin so many accounts. I really need u to understand, if u dont like me doin this or anything I do, please dont buy my albums, dont come to my shows. Fuck way off.”
